Cookies & Cream Cupcakes

So, I made 6 dozen of these for a co-worker's going away get together. They were a BIG hit! I have to say they are pretty amazing cupcakes. Thanks to Confessions of a Cookbook Queen; I took inspiration from her. Seriously, she has some amazing creations.

They were handing out Gerbera daisies at King station this morning so I had to showcase them in the picture as well.

One of the teams on my floor had me make a cake for one of their co-workers going on off on mat leave earlier this month. She doesn't know the sex of the baby so I made it as neutral as possible. This was an 8" two layer chocolate cake. I just used some circle cutters to make the polka dots and the lettering.

The unofficial shot of the cake I caught Willow trying to get at the cake. She got pretty close before I shooed her away.

This was a fun cake to do. At first I really wasn't sure how it would turn out. In the end I thought it was hilarious.

So, I started off with an 8" two layer square vanilla base tier. The filling was raspberry mascarpone mousse. It is so good! Then I covered it using the grass tip to look like carpet with buttercream icing. I would have used the filling but I didn't drain out the seeds and they would have clogged up the tip. It wouldn't have been pretty. Instead I dyed it to match the filling as close as possible to make pink shag carpet.
For the toilet paper roll I did a 6" 3 layer cake and covered it in fondant. I added an extra piece of fondant to make it look like the paper was unraveling. On the top I added a black circle of fondant to look like the empty space from the roll. Lastly, I took a toothpick and spun the cake around to make the indentations of a "roll" of toilet paper.
The signs I made out of fondant. In the picture I was sen…

For this "cake" I made two dozen vanilla cupcakes and arranged them on the cake board in the shape of the rainbow and clouds. To make sure the cupcakes didn't move I added a dab of icing on the bottom of each cupcake.

It's not that often that I get to dye icing, or six different colours at once. You can get a really good bicep workout,

Miss E was kind enough to lend her figurines as models for the picture. The clouds piped out perfectly. The rainbow was a little more difficult. Next time I would put a base coat on the cupcakes to help keep the top coat more level and easier to pipe over.

About Me

I love to be creative and I love to feed people. Making the cakes allows me to do both. Cake decorating is a hobby I got into a few years ago. I decided it was time to show off how far I have come and how much I have still to learn and perfect.
